Satay is one of the typical and popular foods in Indonesia. Satay in Indonesia has various types and ways of serving. It usually uses beef, chicken, or lamb. The meat is marinated in sweet soy sauce and grilled on a skewer. After that, it served peanut sauce and sweet soy sauce.

As I said earlier, Indonesia has many types of satay. Each region has its own characteristics. Some of the popular satays in Indonesia are madura satay, padang satay, rembiga satay, lilit satay, maranggi satay, and others. In 2016, Indonesia added one variation and modification to the satay menu, namely taichan satay.

Taichan satay is a chicken satay made without using peanut sauce. The only substitute for peanut sauce in taichan satay is lime juice and salt. Besides, you don’t need to grill this satay with sweet soy sauce. Therefore, this satay looks white and pale, but its spicy, sour, and savory taste will make you addicted. Moreover, this satay is suitable for those of you who are on a keto diet because it doesn’t have many calories.

The Story of Taichan Satay

There are several stories about the origin of taichan satay in Indonesia. However, there is one popular history about the origin of taichan satay. Let me share it with you.

Initially, there was a young couple who want to buy Satay in the Senayan area, Jakarta. The man comes from Japan while the woman is a native Indonesian. The Japanese man claimed he didn’t like the typical Madurese peanut sauce. He also took the initiative to grill the chicken satay then seasoned with salt. After being cooked, he asked for chili paste and lime from the restaurant owner as a satay companion.

The restaurant owner asked what the satay name. And then the Japanese man answered SATE TAICHAN, without knowing the reason behind the selection of the name. In short, the restaurant owner replaces the original satay menu with taichan satay.

The Ingredients of Spicy Taichan Chicken

Chicken breast – you can use fillet chicken if you want to make it simpler. You can also use any other part of the chicken that you like. Make sure the chicken is skinless. Now, there are also many other satay variants such as quail eggs or chicken skin satay to be served with spicy taichan sauce.

Lemon – adding sour and fresh taste to this menu. Lemon juice will add delicacy to the chili sauce and satay.

Shallots – it is a must ingredient in typical Indonesian chili sauce. It will add a strong flavor to the taichan sauce.

Bird’s Eye Chili – this is for the spicy flavor in this dish. You can adjust it according to your spicy level ability. However, the original taichan sauce in Indonesia usually tastes very spicy.

Seasoning – All you need is a simple spice to season this satay. All you need is a chicken stock powder, black pepper, and salt.
